What about the Big Stuff?

Big Stuff? woohoo..mukha atang challenging topic to discuss ito maybe because may kanya-kanya tayong big stuff na pinagdaanan or pinagdadaanan sa ngayon. Usually when we say big stuff these are the problems that we encounter either in a day-to-day basis or pwede din one time big shot.

This book is all about those big stuff like death, illness, loss of something, disaster, broken-hearted or even those situation we never expect that will happen to us and we are unprepared to accept it in a first place. What I like Richard Carlson is the way he look at those so-called adversity into advantage point. Gaining knowledge about this might help us to overcome the big stuff.

According to the book if there is a certain challenge dumating sa buhay natin madalas mahirap hanapan ng sagot or dahilan. Yung kahit anong pilit mong kakaisip wala ka talagang mahanap na sagot. We might think that we are not born on a right star kaya we expereince problem at di tayo tinatantanan nito. If such thing happen the best thought is to keep reminding ourselves that there is always an answer. Pwedeng hindi pa ngayon ang sagot pero meron at meron. Madalas nga natin sinasabi di ba na everything happens for a reason. Antay lang siguro at wag masyadong gigil.

I personally admit that sometimes I think shallow ideas. The perspective wherein I want the situation always be in favor to me. Aminin mo ganyan ka din hehe. Sinasabi natin sa sarili natin na magiging masaya lang tayo if someone act base sa gusto natin o di naman kaya if this world will provide the things we request. This is not our duty to fix others rather it is our responsibility to make ourselves happy by letting others to exist also. Sabi nga ni Gandhi “Be the change you want to see”.

The best advice after reading book is when the author reminds to always have a peace of mind whether we get what we want or not get what we want. Valuing our peace will help us to face the big stuff in a positive way. It will keep us smile even under adversity and put ourselves in a state of faith that everything will be okay. Fighting!
